Feb. 16 -- VIDEO: IBANEZ LIKES CHEESESTEAKS

BY SCOTT LAUBER

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- So, I was planning to talk about the Page 1 story in today's News Journal about the economy's effect on the Phillies, but at the last minute, I called an audible. That's what happens sometimes in spring training. You plan to do one thing, and circumstances require that you change course.

Anyway, since all of the Phillies' position players reported to camp today, I decided instead to talk a bit about the suddenly uncertain status of Pedro Feliz, and Raul Ibanez's first impressions of Philly when he visited in December for his physical and press conference. I think you'll find them amusing. Besides, we can always touch on the economy tomorrow. Unfortunately, it isn't getting better overnight.

I'm pretty surprised to hear that Jimmy Rollins came to camp a day early. Does this mean he'll be running out every pop-up and ground ball this year?

Scott,

thanks for the video updates. They're a great addition. Maybe try the next one inside. This one was dark and a bit windy sounding.
